Hey everyone my name is Jason Raba and I am currently a student at Full Sail University in Winter Park Florida. I had no previous experience with any formal art form prior to starting at Full Sail University; it was through sheer passion and determination that I have gotten to where I am today, and I have loved every second of it. I am a huge advocate for video games and I have always wanted to take part in the creation of them. Now I am so close to graduating and I hope to accomplish that dream! I would love the opportunity to take part in one of the studio internships; it would absolutely mean the world to me; I will be the hardest working and most dedicated employee I can possibly be and I love to work hard. Thanks so much for checking me out I can't tell you how much I appreciate it!

The abandoned hospital environment in UE4. (the bath tub hallway) PBR Textures, metal roughness workflow. Most textures were created from photo sources with heavy hand painted customizations done in Photo Shop. All models were done with Maya and I utilized Z brush. This project was completed in three weeks.
